Day 2 - Monday, May 21, 2012
Our second day of Disney started at Epcot – the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Epcot opened later this day so we departed the resot around 8:30am. We headed straight to Soarin’ as the lines for this attraction fill up quickly! After that we headed over to The Seas with Nemo & Friends and took a ride in a clamshell.
After Soarin’ & Nemo we checkout Living with the Land - a
slow-moving ride that explores a variety of agricultural farming methods for growing
food in various greenhouses and maintaining viable sources of food (i.e.
fish).
Spaceship Earth was next on the list. This is a great ride
to rest your feet and take an air conditioned break. We rode Spaceship twice
this day – the interactive nature of this ride is super fun too!
We were pretty curious about Mission: Space and were determined to
try every attraction so we headed into Mission: Space Green. The green team is
a less intense version of the ride with less dramatic effects. Having survived the green team we decided to try out the orange team. The orange team is a
more intense version of the ride with more spinning and dramatic effects. I
came out of the orange pretty unscathed but Ryan, on the other hand, wasn't
overly enthusiastic about it and felt nauseous immediately. Ellen’s (not this Ellen, Ellen Degeneres!) Energy
Adventure was next followed by Captain EO Starring Michael Jackson.
We headed back to our resort around 1:30pm for some lunch
and an afternoon swim. We also made a pit-stop at Downtown Disney for the first
time and did some shopping!
Again, because we didn't opt to add the Hopper Pass to our
tickets, we had access to one park per day. We decided to make the most of the
day and headed back to Epcot to view the Epcot World Showcase. We wandered the pavilions & of course checking out Canada. We wished there was more representation from the
East Coast of Canada but were pretty enthused nonetheless! Within the Pavilions,
we rode Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros which is similar in
design to It’s a Small World.
We stayed at Epcot and watched the IllumiNations:
Reflections of Earth firework show, which was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
